During the times listed above you will be able to access, free of charge, all the career coaching services available from career specialist Julie Holmwood.
Julie, a Tansley resident, says:
You will be able to access all my career coaching services free-of-charge during these times. Whether you want to get promoted, apply for a new job, find your career passion, re-write your CV, write a cover letter, understand how to work with recruiters, learn how to use LinkedIn, prepare for an interview, or any one of a multitude of other career services, if we can cover it on a Friday morning, in The Brunswick Rooms, it's free
Just bring a donation if you want coffee and biscuits or Soup 'n' Sweet.
I have worked in the career industry for eighteen years. Almost twelve as an international headhunter and more recently as a career coach. I work with professionals around the world, helping them enjoy and advance their careers.
As a resident of the village I am pleased to offer this service to those within the local community and have come to an arrangement with Tansley Methodist and Holy Trinity churches to use the Methodist church facilities.
I do run a career coaching business so anything outside of these times, or under private agreement, is chargeable.
Matthew and Lucy Get Married
The next Mr and Mrs Strange
This weekend saw the wedding of ex-Tansley resident and Tansley Methodist Member Matthew Strange with the very lovely Lucy (nee Hare)
They were married in St Mary & All Saints’ Church in Checkley, Staffordshire
It was a beautiful day and the bride looked truly stunning – please enjoy some photos courtesy of Sylvia Norman…
The members of Tansley Methodist would like to wish Matt and Lucy every blessing in their marriage. With love to you both. God bless!
Cafe Church – All Welcome
by Paul Strange
Church, but not as you know it!
Seated at tables, cafe church is an interactive service… with coffee (or tea)
We are informal, the atmosphere is relaxed and best of all, we have fun.
All are welcome. We have toys and books for the children.
You are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household ~ Ephesians 2 11-22

Tansley Book Club
The Book Club
Mission: A multi-media book club to share and discuss ideas and stories that have touched our lives and expanded our thinking.
About: Sometimes you read, hear, or see something new and it sparks a thought or idea… You’re excited. You want to talk about it with someone. But no-one you know is either interested, or has time to research what it is you’re talking about. If you have ever felt that way (or would like to feel that kind of inspired thinking) and can make yourself available on the fourth Monday of the month, you are exactly the person we are looking for.
You might have been inspired by a book? Or a blog? Or a movie? Maybe, like me, you watch podcasts (I’m particularly hooked on TED)? Perhaps for you it’s poetry? Or maybe it is through a medium I haven’t even mentioned? If something has touched you and you’d like to share; both in terms of touching others and expanding your thinking by discussing and debating the ideas that have sprung as a result, we would love you to be part of The Book Club.
When: We will meet at The Hollies, Holly Lane, Tansley DE4 on the fourth Monday of the month at 7.30pm for two hours, starting next Monday, the 28th January. Because this is the first meeting we will mostly be getting to know each other and we will collectively set our agenda for the year ahead.
All are welcome. If you need to bring children, please let me know in advance and I will organise a toy and games room for littles.
Nibbles and refreshments will be provided.
Love
the Julies x

Tansley Tuesdays
The Tuesday Club is mainly for persons over the age of 60 and meets every fortnight to socialise and chat. Once a month an outing is arranged, usually with a lunch or tea included. At the regular meetings there are speakers, slide shows, demonstrations, quizzes, musical afternoons, etc.
In addition to all this, members of the Tuesday Club also enjoy a five or six-day holiday to the seaside every year to a first class hotel, usually with evening entertainment.
This Tuesday, they had lunch in our Brunswick Rooms. We provided them with homemade soup, sandwiches, dessert and coffee. Followed by games.
If you are interested in holding your event here please contact Margaret to discuss requirements and availability.
It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas
One of the lovely things about living in Tansley at this time of year is the Christmas Tree Festival. Organised and hosted by The Holy Trinity Church, local people and organisations provide and decorate trees within the church.
There is a children's tree, decorated with chocolate and candy canes, asking to be eaten. A firm favourite with the smaller people.
Some small trees made of magazine pages really caught my eye. Attractive and unusual!
Tansley Methodist have a tree. Donated by Scotland Nurseries it was decorated by Agnes – which means it's beautiful.
Tea, coffee, home made cakes and good company available to all.
There's still time to go along – the festival is on today and tomorrow. Please check opening times on our 'What's On' page
Meanwhile, here are some photos taken yesterday…

A Moments Silence
Lest We Forget
This year Remembrance Day fell on a Sunday. Churches all over the country will have taken time to pray for peace and remember those who lost their lives in war, as we did.
Disturbingly, there have been 150 major conflicts in the World since the 2nd World War ended in 1945. It was equally upsetting to hear that the World has only actually been at peace for 26 days during that entire time.
I am reminded of the words of Mahatma Gandhi – Be the change you want to see in the World
